Is
there
any
wish
to
poll
or
discuss
councillor
Gordon
I
just.
A
B
Appreciate
its
coming
forward
and
that
there's
only
two
companies
and
then
we're
trying
to
do
something
about
the
scooter
litter
in
terms
of
having
them
locked
up
and
taken
care
of
in
a
better
way.
I
guess
I
still
have
concerns
about
the
experiment
that
we
did
with
Dhokla
spikes
and
ductless
scooters
last
year,
and
then
the
problem
of
scooter
litter
in
particular,
and
even
the
Dhokla
spikes
would
lose
their
charge
and
then
you
couldn't
even
access
the
bikes
in
it.
So
I
think
we're
moving
in
the
right
direction.
B
I
know
there
are
doclist
scooter
possibilities
out
there.
We've
got
I,
think
marketing
people
who
are
reaching
out
to
all
of
us,
probably
in
emails
about
what
they
could
offer
us
I
see
comparing
to
what
it
was
like
when
we
had
one
company
operating
the
shared
bikes
that
were
all
docked
up
with
what
we
had
last
year.
It
makes
me
think
that
if
we
could
get
one
company
doing
this
for
the
city,
so
we
can
work
with
really
well
that
they
could
do
the
scooters
and
the
bikes
and
they
could
be
docked
up.
B
We
might
hit
a
really
good
spot,
but
we'll
try
it
with
these
two
companies-
it's
not
as
many
as
last
year
and
we'll
try
it
with
a
little
bit
better
maintenance
and
see
how
it
goes,
but
hopefully
we're
moving
in
a
little
bit
more
control
with
our
transit
hubs
and
those
things.
So,
with
my
concerns,
noted
I,
just
AM
down.
A
C
You
mr.
chair
I
appreciate
the
walkins
at
this
time
where
business
is
just
not
business
as
normal,
but
there's
about
eight
million
dollars
here
that
we're
approving
that
aren't
on
the
printed
agenda.
They
seem
to
just
be
for
things
like
ready,
mix,
concrete
and
things
to
make
roads,
but
I'm
just
curious
if
somebody
could
say
if
you
were
as
to
why
they
weren't
on
the
printed
agenda
and
if
that's
just
in
preparation
for
us
not
having
more
of
these
kinds
of
regular
meetings
in
the
future.
Certainly.
D
Mr.
chair
councilmember
Palmisano
we
had
intended
for
these
to
be
on
this
agenda.
They
did
not
make
it
through
the
procurement
process
in
enough
time.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
any
anticipated
schedule
changes.
It
has
everything
to
do
with
the
time
it
takes
to
enter
into
the
contracts
and
be
ready
for
our
construction
season,
which
we
are
planning
on.
D
C
E
C
A
A
If
you
now
go
to
the
public
hearing
section
of
today's
agenda
and
I'll
note
in
terms
of
public
comment,
comments
can
still
be
emailed
or
mailed
in
it
is
the
written
communication
that
actually
preserves
your
right
to
appeal,
any
subsequent
legal
appeals
and
to
that
and
it
can
be
sent
right
up
to
the
day
of
the
public
hearing
to
have
that
legal
effect.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
clear
for
folks
in
the
general
public
and
with
that
we'll
go
to
public
hearing
number
one
director
hutchinson.
D
D
The
special
assessments
are
in
the
amount
of
one
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
one
hundred
and
thirty
five
dollars
and
94
cents
and
the
assessment
bonds
are
in
the
same
amount.
The
last
time
Godward
Street
northeast
was
reconstructed
was
in
1984.
It
has
a
PCI
of
34.
The
proposed
special
assessments
were
determined
by
applying
our
2020
uniform
assessment
rates
to
the
land
area
of
benefited
parcels,
as
is
established
for
each
of
our
projects,
and
I
will
stand
for
any
questions
if
necessary.
Any.
A
C
You
mr.
chair,
it
seems
like
now
would
be
an
appropriate
time
just
to
ask
the
director
to
expand
a
little
bit
on
what
she's
thinking
in
terms
of
the
construction
schedule
for
this
season.
I
heard
you
say
just
prior
that
you
do
plan
on
starting
the
construction
season,
so
things
that
are
on
the
project
schedule
for
this
year.
At
this
point
in
time
from
what
you
know,
those
are
still
on
track
to
be
scheduled
and
start
to
be
worked
on.
Is
that
on?
Is
that?
Am
I
accurate
on
that?
D
Chair
right,
councilmember
Palmisano,
we
are
working
under
daily
changing
information,
just
as
the
rest
of
the
city
is
with
the
information
that
we
have
today.
We
are
preparing
to
continue
our
work
to
support
the
city
of
many
appleĆs
in
numerous
ways,
I'll
report
out
on
that
in
our
final
presentation,
with
respect
to
our
construction
season
at
present
time,
Public
Works
is
operating
it
at
full
staff,
full
function
and,
as
we
think
about
our
work,
moving
forward
and
comparing
to
our
workforce
today,
we
don't
foresee
any
changes.
D
As
of
today
in
the
work
that
we
plan
to
complete
that
being
said,
city
engineer,
Brian
Dodds
is
working
very
closely
with
our
division
directors
that
are
most
closely
related
to
and
in
charge
of
our
construction
projects
to
understand
scenarios
that
we
may
possibly
need
to
adjust
our
construction
schedules,
and
if
we
do
so,
we
will
be
making
making
it
very
publicly
known
if
projects
are
going
to
be.
If
there's
any
change
to
our
construction
schedule,.
C
A
D
It's
for
the
South
Philips
residential
area
street
resurfacing
project
asking
the
council
to
pass
a
resolution
ordering
the
work
to
proceed
and
adopting
special
assessments
in
the
amount
of
one
point:
four
one:
nine
one:
sixty
five,
eighty
six
million
dollars
for
the
South
Philips
residential
street
reconstruction
and
passing
a
resolution
requesting
the
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation
to
authorize
the
city's
issuance
and
sale
of
assessment
bonds
for
the
same
amount.
This
area
had
was
last
constructed
portions
of
it
in
1974,
with
a
pavement
condition,
index
rating
of
57.
D
A
D
I
would
like
to
recognize
that,
under
normal
circumstances,
we
would
have
had
a
packed
house
representing
all
of
the
people
who
worked
so
hard
on
this
and
I
just
want
to
name
them
city
engineer,
Brian,
Dodds,
sitting
behind
me,
who
will
be
presenting
today,
our
chief
traffic
operations,
engineer,
Steve,
moseying
and,
of
course,
Ethan
folly,
who
has
kept
the
team
organized
moving
on
as
produced
a
lot
of
the
information
that
you
have
been
looking
at.
We
I
feel
incredibly
proud
of
the
work.
D
I
have
said
this
before
that,
though
people
are
had
hoped
that
this
would
happen
even
faster
by
our
own
standards.
The
work
happened
too
quickly,
because
we
feel
that
this
approach
is
incredibly
important
for
our
vision,
zero
efforts
and
will
save
lives
on
our
streets.
Lower
is
safer
with
that,
I
would
like
to
introduce
Steve
moseying,
the
chief
traffic
operations
engineer,
who
will
be
making
a
presentation
on
today's
agenda
item
after
I
clean
this.
F
So
good
morning
my
name
is
Steve
moseying
I
am
traffic
operations,
engineer
for
the
Department
of
Public
Works,
so
we've
been
waiting
for
this
day
for
a
long
time.
It
started
back
in
the
fall
of
2017,
with
the
city's
commitment
to
vision,
zero
and
speed
management
was
a
big
piece
of
that
commitment.
F
So
we've
been
working
last
year,
we
started
working
with
the
legislature
in
order
to
pass
legislation
with
regard
to
giving
cities
the
authority
to
change
speeds
on
our
own
roadways.
So
with
that,
we've
been
working
pretty
hard
over
the
last
few.
However,
the
last
year
and
the
legislation
that
was
passed
is
before
you.
Now
it
does
have
some
parameters.
The
key
excuse
me,
the
key
parameters
have
have
been
that
the
speeds
need
to
have
or
the
legislation
requires
that
we
complete
a
speed
evaluation.
Also,
a
prior
provide
appropriate
signing
and
methods
of
communication.
F
So
the
evaluation
includes
three
key
points
on
national
trends
and
what
other
cities
are
doing
characteristics
of
city
of
Minneapolis
roadways?
Typically,
speeds
are
set
based
on
the
motor
vehicle,
not
necessarily
in
a
city
environment.
Our
environment
has
bus
lane.
Excuse
me
on
bus
routes,
bike
lanes.
We
have
a
pedestrian
environment.
We
have
intersections
three
to
six
hundred
feet
apart,
so
a
totally
environment
from
what
maybe
in
past
history
has
been
used
to
determine
what
a
speed
limit
is,
and
also
the
last
piece
of
our
evaluation
would
include
existing
data.
F
So
safer
streets
and
lower
speeds
are
based,
in
fact,
and
facts
related
to
data
and
to
physics.
So
this
slide
shows
that
a
speeds
increase
the
risk
of
being
in
a
fatal
or
severe
injury
crash
increases,
so
speeds
go
up.
This
risk
goes
up,
the
correlation
is
there
with
regard
to
data,
and
the
correlation
is
there
with
regard
to
the
physics.
F
We
have
received
some
of
the
data
from
Seattle
and
if
you
look
at
the
graph
on
the
left
of
the
screen,
you
can
see
that
after
the
City
of
Seattle,
which
changed
their
speeds
from
25
to
20
on
their
residential
system,
saw
an
overall
crash
reduction
of
21
percent.
So
you'll.
If
you
look
at
the
illustration
on
the
right
of
the
screen,
this
is
one
of
their
business
districts
in
Seattle
and
they
changed
their
speed
limit
from
30
to
25
and
they
had
a
total
crash
reduction
of
already
over
40
percent.
These
are
facts.
F
So
back
in
2018,
the
city
of
Minneapolis
did
a
citywide
speeds
where
we
took
speed
data
from
440
locations
within
the
city
over
11,000
piece
over
11,000
speed
data
readings
and
from
these
readings
on
the
residential
system
did
median.
Speed
was
22
miles
an
hour
and
on
the
arterial
system
the
median
speed
was
27
miles
per
hour.
F
So,
if
you
take
everything
we
put
together
in
the
evaluation
past
city
policies,
you
know
with
vision,
zero,
Complete,
Streets,
the
characteristics
of
Minneapolis
roadway,
what's
being
done
nationally
and
what
other
cities
have
accomplished
and
succeeded
with,
but
also
the
existing
data.
The
evaluation
comes
out
with
a
conclusion
of
a
two-tiered
system
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
where
on
the
residential
system,
the
speed
limit
would
be
20
miles
per
hour
and
on
the
arterial
system.
The
speed
limit
would
be
25
miles
per
hour.
F
So
if
you
look
at
these
two
maps,
maps
of
the
city
on
the
left
is
what
we
have
out
there
today,
even
though
we've
already
started
putting
up
signs
for
25
miles
an
hour,
the
yellow
indicates
all
the
30
mile
an
hour
roadways
and
on
the
right
is
what
the
map
will
look
like
after
we
were
a
hundred
percent
complete.
You
can
see
that
most
of
the
roadways,
if
you
look
at
the
key,
approximately
75%
of
the
roadways,
will
have
a
speed
limit
of
20
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
F
So
how
all
this
get
done?
Well,
mostly
through
signing
efforts,
if
this
won't
happen
overnight.
Sorry,
our
big
tasks,
starting
out,
is
to
tackle
the
roadways
that
will
be
changing
from
30
to
25.
We've
started
that
work
already.
Those
signs
are
going
up
and
we're
gonna
rotate
through
this
city
and
putting
those
signs
up.
F
The
residential
system
is
a
little
different.
There's
again,
75%
of
the
residential
system
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis
is
the
residential
system.
If
we
were
to
sign
that
what
that
would
be
thousands
upon
thousands
of
signs,
so
our
strategy
there
is
to
put
up
gateways
signs,
but
the
entry
points
into
the
city.
F
You
would
see
a
sign
that
says:
speed,
limit,
20
unless
otherwise
signed,
and
that
would
cover
the
residential
system,
because
the
county
and
state
roadways
are
already
signed
for
there's
specific
speeds
and
then
our
25
mile,
an
hour
roadways
will
be
signed
as
well.
There
are
gonna
be
locations
where
we
do
need
to
put
up
20
mile
an
hour
signs,
specifically
as
you're
driving
down
a
roadway,
and
it
goes
from
arterial
system
to
a
residential
system.
So
there
will
be
some
exceptions
to
that
the
same
plan
as
it
stands
today
and
recording
any
with
st.
F
F
So,
along
with
our
our
signing
plan
and
our
technical
work
that
we've
completed,
the
legislation
also
says
to
have
an
effective
communication
plan
and
so
that
all
kicked
off
last
week,
a
few
you
were
there
with
the
media
event
that
occurred.
Oh
it
on
emerald
and
Franklin,
which
our
first
25
on
our
speed
limit
sign,
went
in,
but
there's
other
there's
also
other
tasks
that
we're
going
to
do
with
the
communication
plan,
which
would
include
the
20,
is
plenty
sign
in
stand.
Installations.
F
A
F
Yep
mr.
chair
signals
are
a
big
piece
of
how
we
are
going
to
manage
converting
roadways
to
the
lower
speeds.
We
have
820
signals
in
the
city.
720
of
them
will
be
impacted
by
the
speeds.
So,
with
the
speed
limit
change,
we
have
to
change
clearance
times
on
the
signals,
and
that
would
be
the
amount
of
all
red
in
yellow
time.
That's
based
on
the
speed
limit
and
then
also
the
progression
of
the
signals
will
also
also
change.
The
signals
right
now
are
set
up
for
a
30
mile,
an
hour
progression
speed.
We
will.
F
G
B
Had
a
question
about
the
costs
of
all
of
this
that
came
up
and
I,
somebody
was
wondering
how
much
does
the
sign
cost,
for
example,
and
what
is
the
fiscal
impact
of
doing
all
this?
It
could
have
been
at
slided
question
if
somebody
who
thinks
it
isn't
worth
it,
but
can
you
give
us
an
estimate
on
what
the
costs
are?
Maybe
what
a
speed
limit
sign
costs,
yeah.
F
So
we
we're,
in
the
you
know,
we're
still
in
a
discovery
mode
with
regard
to
the
speed
limit
signs
out
there,
we
think
there's
around
1,500
signs
that
we'll
have
to
add
a
replace.
The
cost
estimate
at
this
standpoint
is
in
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
range.
Now
we
did
get
some
funding
last
year
for
vision,
zero
for
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
so
we
may
be
slightly
over
that.
F
C
C
The
general
public
understood
from
reading
things
in
the
paper
that
the
new
speed
limit
went
into
effect
immediately
and
on
our
vision
with
zero
website.
It
says
note
that
the
new,
lower
speed
limits
on
individual
streets
will
go
into
effect
when
signed
and
I
mean.
That's.
That's
not
like
assigning
that
that
signed
is
an
out
on
the
street
and
citywide
changes
to
urban
residential
streets.
C
F
F
So
that's
formally
the
speed
there
now
and
we
have
a
map
online
that
we
update
weekly,
that
shows
each
road
and
when
it
will
be
per
at
the
point
at
which
its
converted
and
so
that
maps
on
our
vision,
zero
website
with
the
residential
system,
it's
a
little
more
trickier,
the
West
or
the
residential
system.
Actually,
the
speed
limit
will
change
until
the
Gateway
signs
go
up
and
those
are
scheduled
to
go
up
towards
the
end
of
the
signing
process.
So
sometime
in
the
fall.
A
A
It's
always
nice
to
have
a
big
policy
with
which
includes
big
change
and
change
is
always
gonna,
bring
out
a
certain
amount
of
conversation
in
their
general
public
and
to
join
that
conversation
with
thorough,
factual
based
layout
of
information
of
why
we're
doing
it,
how
we're
doing
it
and
for
what
purpose
we're
doing
it
I
think
is
just
really
helpful
and
meaningful
and
I'm
very
proud
that
our
city
does
it
that
way
and
of
course
we
have
come
to
expect
that,
but
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
work
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
it.
A
Thank
you
and
with
that
I
will.
Oh,
we
see
move
to
receive
and
file
report
on
speed
limits
for
city
streets,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
SNT
name
that
carries,
and
we
can
now
go
to
our
walk-on
presentation,
which
is
listed
as
item
21
and,
as
we
know,
doing
daily
work
in
normal
circumstances
for
the
public
through
this
department
or
these
departments
is
significant.
D
Chair
Reich
and
members
of
the
transportation
and
public
works
committee.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
to
you
today.
I
have
a
brief
update
on
Public
Works
kovat
19
activities.
I
want
to
say
that
I
will
be
available
to
continue
updates
as
necessary
and,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
are
all
getting
information
on
a
daily
basis
and
we
are
adapting
our
operation
today.
I
want
to
report
to
you
that
Public
Works
remains
at
full
staff
and
our
operation
is
complete.
D
D
Our
team
is
cross
trained
and
I
want
to
thank
Steve,
cocky
and
Heidi
Hamilton
for
making
an
incredibly
essential
change
a
number
of
years
ago,
creating
categories
of
employment,
service
worker,
one
and
service
worker.
Two
that
gives
our
department
an
incredible
amount
of
flexibility
to
use
our
cross
trained
staff
to
focus
on
our
most
essential
services.
I'm,
going
to
begin
first
with
maintaining
safe
drinking
water,
that
is
Priority
One.
D
Our
two
treatment
plants
remain
fully
staffed
today
and
our
contingency
planning
is
in
place
that
we
will
guarantee
the
maintenance
of
safe
drinking
water
through
the
operation
of
both
of
our
plants.
This
is
Priority
One.
We
will
continue
our
solid
waste
recycling
and
organics
pickup.
This
is
priority,
they're
all
priorities.
This
is
also
an
important
priority
for
our
public.
D
We
will
continue
to
keep
people
who
travel
safe
by
maintaining
our
traffic
signal
system
and
other
transportation
components
that
maintain
the
flow
of
all
people
who
are
traveling
while
I
understand
there
are
fewer
people
traveling.
Our
emergency
services
absolutely
depend
on
this.
We
will
be
maintaining
the
city's
fleet.
It's
an
often
under
recognized
and
invisible
part
of
the
work
that
Public
Works
does,
but
our
mechanics
will
stay
on
to
be
sure
that
police,
fire
and
Public
Works
and
anyone
else
who
needs
to
have
a
vehicle
will
have
one.
D
We
will
be
prepared
to
perform
any
emergency
repairs.
This
includes
water
sewer
and
any
other
obstruction
that
may
be
eminent
in
our
public
right-of-way
and
we
are
doing
all
of
our
work
to
continue
to
comply
with
statutory
regulations,
which
of
which
we
have
many
well
I,
want
to
stress
again.
Today
there
are
no
changes
to
the
Public
Works
operation.
I
also
want
to
ensure
to
you
and
our
public
that
we
are
ready
with
multi,
but
contingency
plans
should
they
need
to
be
deployed.
E
You
mr.
chair
I
just
want
to
extend
my
gratitude
to
you
and
the
whole
team
we're
on
the
front
lines
of
ensuring
our
city's
continued
safety
and
health
and
I
also
just
greatly
appreciate
you
speaking
so
clearly
and
reassuringly
for
the
public
at
this
time.
When
that's
that's
what
we
need
and
so
kudos
to
you.
Thank
you
so
much.
A
I
think
is
a
time
for
the
public
to
definitely
reflect
on
that
and
appreciate
that
and-
and
of
course,
we
depend
on
it.
So
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
and
with
that
I
will
move
to
receive
and
file
the
update
from
Public
Works
ANCOVA
19
status
with
the
department,
any
further
discussion,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
Descent,
a
name
that
carries
and
we
have
exhausted
the
agenda
and
we
are
adjourned.
Thank
you.
